Storm Over Stormy By Robert C. Ruark
BATON ROUGE, La., Feb, 24—The pre-election strife between sad Sam Jones and Huey Long's brother Earl has been pleasantly leavened, at least for me, by a more vital conflict between Louisiana State University and a lady named Stormy, Stormy is a stripteaser, or peeler, who flaunts her torso in the Casino Royal in New Orleans’ French quarter. She flaunts it with such telling effect that she has been the top attraction in the quarter for three years, and it may be said that no student at LSU can consider himself fullfledged until he has been exposed to Stormy. The captivation finally reached such proportions that the staff of The Pellmell, the college humor magazine, devoted its currént issue to a frank interview with the lady. They gave her the “entire front cover, and a good portion of the magazine's innards was livened by chromos of the young woman. This, in itself, found small favor with the university authorities, but the professional blood pressure had not yet bubbled to its full boiling int, The top blew off when Stormy was invited 10 desert Bourbon St. for ‘the campus. Stormy showed up at the school’s fieldhouse, which was jammed to the eaves, She autographed her picture on the front cover, and Pellmell's circulation leaped a' full 5000. The faculty leaped along
Rivaled the Ban on Kissing AS THE storm over Stormy progressed, they banned the magazine, stopped all sales, and chewed out the entire editorial staff. It is said that a passionate devotion to reportorial assiduity may cause the expulsion of three members of the staff, : If this is the case, there is apt to be a bigger
- rumpus over Stormy than there was in the recent
kissing-ban demonstrations at LSU, when a Miss Gloria Heller of Havana, Cuba, got herself in the grease for opposing the faculty's attempt to

i ¥ Where the Grader Comes In THIS is just an estimation, but I'd say in some sections of East St, Mr. Severance would dig up 50 much dirt in 50 feet that he had to stop and lift the blade. As efficient as the modern sweepers are, they can’t cut through three inches of packed dirt. And it would be economically prohibitive to send a crew of men to shovel the gutters clean. That's where the grader comes in. Mr. Miller zipped past us on his sweeper and called that he'd have to take a second run in one section. A man could have plowed there and planted corn.

could prevent her from saluting the gentleman of her choice, and proceeded to demonstrate her independence. Miss Heller got the heave and the students rose up and threatened a mass walkout for this violation of civil liberty. Already, it is significant that after the Stormy episode, a fire broke out and one of the college buildings burned down. This is, to date, the greatest tribute to the lady's incendiary talents. Stormy’s real name seems to be Stacie Rgndolph Laurence, and she comes from Philadelphia. She has a fine feeling for the direct quote, as follows:
Mayor Drops Around, Too
“I WORK as hard trying to act my part as I do on my dance routines. People expect me to be sultry and sexy, and I'm afraid it doesn't come natural. But I must get the effect sometimes, because five or six guys, usually with families, lose their heads sometimes.” Concerning Mayor Chep Morrison's attempted cleanup of the French Quarter, Stormy was slightly scathing: “He may be trying to. clean up the quarter, but the very first time some big dignitary hits
it; maybe it's his idea of a cleanup.” : » 2 Stormy says she is a light drinker, drunks disgust her, and all she wants to do is ride horseback, stay home and study harmony, musie, piano and voice. She says an unhappy marriage has caused her to live an exceedingly restricted social life. She says her customers bore her. I hope this is not so, because as soon as I get to New Orleans I intend to catch Stormy’s act, and I would hate it if she is bored. If there is anything I cannot abide, it is a stripteaser who fails to show enthusiasm for her art,

They built a wooden shed (cost about $1600) to hide their statue and they argued some more. Year after year they argued, while tourists wondered what was inside the niysterious structure on the south-lawn, By 1908 the lawmakers were so mortified and the shed so weatherbeaten that they appropriated a final $5000. This was for tearing down. the shed ‘and| hauling Washington—in the dead of night—to| the Smithsonian Institution.
